Chapter 96
Upon hearing what the lady just said, Oliver’s interest was fully piqued.
Then he shifted slightly in his seat, sitting up straighter as his eyes locked on the wall ahead, his mind already preparing for something bigger than what he initially thought.
His fingers stopped tapping the chair, his hand now resting under his chin as he spoke, his voice calm but firm.
"What is it?" Oliver asked, his tone curious but commanding. "Is there something more? Don’t stop there."
The woman on the other end of the line let out a soft breath, like she had been waiting for him to ask that. Her voice came back steady, but there was a certain caution in her words now.
"Yes," she said. "There’s definitely something more."
She paused, as though arranging her thoughts carefully before she continued.
"According to my findings... and from the little investigation I’ve been able to carry out so far, it seems Cora’s ex-husband is no ordinary man. He’s actually a pretty smart man."
Oliver raised his brows slightly, his eyes narrowing, his attention fully locked onto the conversation now. He didn’t say a word yet, but his entire body leaned into the moment, waiting for her to continue.
The lady on the other end of the call took a brief pause, as though ensuring Oliver was still following, then she continued, her voice steady but now layered with a hint of intrigue.
"According to our findings," she said, "it appears that Cora has successfully acquired 70% of the company’s shares. That’s what the documents say, that’s what the records reflect. On the surface, to the public and even to basic financial observers, it would appear like Cora practically owns the entire company."
Oliver remained silent, but his eyes darkened with focus. He position up straighter, the tip of his finger resting lightly on his chin, his mind spinning the possibilities of what this could mean.
